Extract

The gardens of the two settlements in the Lamington National Park – Binna Burra and O'Reillys – are cultural landscapes in a much loved area of the Scenic Rim of Queensland's border with NSW. The concept of cultural landscapes in the World Heritage and national contexts was introduced at the 2002 Australian Garden History Society conference in Hobart. This paper examines the evolution of two gardens within a national park – one evolving from a farm and one designed to accompany a rainforest holiday centre – and the acceptance of cultural values in natural areas.
